Clara Angulo, LCSW

Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She combines ten years of clinical experience with a straightforward, compassionate approach. Clara speaks English and Spanish and aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them.

She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and issues that touch identity such as LGBT concerns. Aging and geriatric issues are among her additional areas of focus.

Clara uses practical, evidence-informed methods that help people make small changes that add up. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She also uses attachment-informed ideas and a client-centered stance to keep the work collaborative.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clara helps people notice patterns, try new skills, and build routines that reduce distress. She emphasizes clear steps and gentle accountability rather than long lectures or vagueness.

Her decade of practice includes community and clinical settings across South Florida. Clara encourages people to bring what feels difficult and confusing; she helps them sort priorities and move toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Clara draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build meaningful routines. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of acting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings while choosing actions that match personal values and goals.

She also uses attachment-informed ideas and a client-centered stance to keep conversations grounded in the client’s experience. These approaches help when dealing with relationship hurts, caregiver stress, grief, or struggles with identity. Clara treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process and will work with each person to find what fits their needs and preferences.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist can help clients figure out how sessions fit into daily life, such as scheduling around caregiving or work, using shorter check-ins when time is tight, or focusing on skill practice between meetings. Online therapy can make it easier to keep consistent appointments and try practical skills in real time, while the therapist and client decide together what methods and pacing feel most useful.
